STOP IT. RIGHT NOW. NOT NECESSARY.
The street isn’t loud enough with sirens, trucks, engine noises, obnoxious teenagers and those noisy fucking mufflers (don’t even get me STARTED on motorcycles)? Is it really crucial to your existence that you lay on the horn because the guy in front of you isn’t driving according to your apparently perfect rules of the road? Fuck you.
Please find another way to unleash your road rage, like driving your car into a telephone pole and removing your horn-honking self from the gene pool. —Bleeding From The Ears

you gotta love some of those douchebags, they wait like what, a nano second after the light changes, then give you the horn. one guy did that years back in t.o., guy got out of his car, and blew the asshole’s brains out. maybe that should happen here,just once.
i’ll honk at you if you’re going under the speed limit for any length of time….cuz ya know, they’re only suggestions.
actually horns should be banned anywho wtf are they for really 🙂
I guess every government, manufacture, driving school is wrong since they say horns are a necessity. They are a warning signal which save countless lives by waking up idiots who are about to cause accidents.
This could have been my bitch. The fuckers out there that lay on their horn get on my last nerve. I don’t ever see that’s it necessary. A succession of little “move it” beeps are fine, but full on blasting is ridiculous!
I always want to walk up to their window and scream in their face for several seconds.
actually i think horn blasts cause drivers to over react and I’ll bet cause as many accidents as they prevent; and are you actually saying the government knows something about anything alrighty than you go with that 🙂
well I use my horn…to wake up people who are about to drive/step/run into a hazard zone. That’s what it’s for folks. You don’t like the noise of the city, why do live in it?
I lived in the caribbean for a while and driveres there use their horn for everything…to say hi, to warn that they’re coming around a tight corner…anything they can think of.
I think people automatically assume the ones blowing their horn are angry when it’s not always the case…just easier than getting of the car, tapping on the window and saying “excuse me, you obviously didn’t notice but the light has changed while you were chatting, could you please move along”
This bitch isn’t referring to people who use their horns for sensible reasons. It’s the others who lay on it for several seconds. Duh people.
Horms are there for a reason …. to be used.
I love my horn.
There’s lots of times when a horn is needed – last Friday, I’m trying to turn left on Bayers to Connaught and this fucking huge tractor trailer in front of me didn’t just ignore one light – he ignored three – did I lay on the horn? You betcha, loud and fucking hard.
I’m guilty of not using it enough…
though I don’t really need to show ‘aggression’ ,
there’s already plenty of that to go around.
mine’s used for emergency, last minute warning’s at the very most.
What about Harley Davidson motorcycles? Those are very noisy and obnoxious. How come no hot guys ever drive them? Bearded baldies with combed out goatees and black leather is the opposite of sexy.
Because the only men that can afford Harleys are the fat middle aged men that have button down jobs who think that Harleys make them bad-ass as they sit outside Perks.
I watched some asshole honk his horn at an elderly couple the other day who by the looks of it just weren’t crossing the street fast enough for him. Guess he was in a hurry.
And then there are chicks on Harleys. This chickie bought her first Harley when she was in her twenties! So much for the fat middle-aged man stereotypical Harley rider. And back then all the Harley riders I knew WERE hot (well, some of ’em) young guys. That was when Harley’s were the choice of real bikers and not week-end ‘button-down jobs’ who think Harley’s make them look bad-ass! Those guys make us real bikers laugh.
I hear ya Oceanlady my 29 year old bro has a Harley Davidson motorcycles and he is far from fat-middled. sebastian_ and Dr. Fever have you been to Montreal omg they are everywhere.
Harley’s are the wicked
Horns keep people like the OP in line… just be glad I left my M16 horn at home 😉
harleys are crap.
unless you’re a mechanic and can clean and fix them every 5 hours…
well the older, more desirable ones anyways.
I’m anti-harley. very much so…
Enough said— I have been to Montreal, but considering the #1 crime problem in Quebec are biker gangs, that goes without saying. In Halifax, it’s predominately middle aged businessmen that ride them, mostly because they’re so over priced.
HAHAHA Not everyone or even most of everyone that drives bikes (Harley’s) are NOT in a gang. That is a typical uneducated statement. I have see plenty of young fellas on Harley’s in Halifax alot of them travel in groups but are not gangs. So in my opinion your wrong.
Maybe back in the day when the thirteenth tribe was around starting out like 35-40 years ago.
I’m talking about Quebec, you douche. In Halifax, it’s a much different story.
What bugs me about horns … when some lazy jerk leans on their horn – repeatedly – outside a friend’s house, rather than get out of their vehicle to knock on the damn door and let them know they have arrived to pick them up. It’s annoying.
I love using the horn, especially at idiots crossing the street on a red light right in front of me. Happens a lot around the Commons. And no, I’m not slowing down for you.
It’s a good and oftentimes the best way to not only alert other drivers, but also relieve stress.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
I’m with BD, some people need to get up their fat asses and learn how to ring a door bell. I’m ok with horns when they’re used for what they’re intended for – warning other users of the road.
And about Harleys: Yes, you see a lot of harleys and harley knock-offs in Quebec. One important contributing factor for their popularity is the retarded fee to put plates on a sportbike over there. My bike in Quebec: 1300$/year (just for plates). Here: 40$/year (I guess moving here was not ALL bad after all). Most can’t afford it, so they get a cruiser instead, and they still have enough money left to buy tons of pirate costumes and accessories.
Biker gangs are a problem there, but it’s not like every Harley rider you see is a gang member. Most are of the fake-badass, costume-wearing, attention-craving, middle-aged manager type, just like here. They fit the new definition of the F word suggested by Eric Cartman et al.
OP, just so you know, most motorcyclists are annoyed by Harleys excessively loud pipes too…don’t put us all in the same category.
Even in Quebec majority of people that drive Harley’s are not in gangs. Yes they do exist in QC but they would be the minority not the majority. geesh your the douche.
VFR— I don’t think most people do, most sportsbikes (unless they’ve been modified with those ridiculous sport exhausts, or Buell models that use the same antiquated engine design as Harleys) are quiet enough for most.
Enough said— that wasn’t my experience; but my experience of Quebec in general is limited to Montreal and Quebec City, anyways. Read the entire post before you get your panties in a bunch.
I did read the post and actually you said Quebec.
DRF -“I’m talking about Quebec, you douche. In Halifax, it’s a much different story.”
and in your post before that you indicated that you have gone to Montreal but
“but considering the #1 crime problem in Quebec are biker gangs, that goes without saying.”
So take your own advice..read the post
I did, and they are, are they not?
1. Go move to the woods if you don’t like the sound of cars and teenagers (btw what sound does a teenager make that other human-being cannot?) And jeez, those friggin sirens, where do they get off!?!
2. Horns are for alerting drivers who are not obeying the rules of the road, causing dangerous situations…that is what they’re for. So yeah, it is crucial to one’s existence. If I see someone doing something stupid on the roads, I will honk, I apologize now if it hurts your wittle earies baby!!
I assume you are someone who gets honked at a lot…there’s probably a reason for it!!
